Everything You Need to Know About Apple vs. the FBI, Explained
Your questions about the case answered on “Too Embarrassed to Ask.”

Normally on Too Embarrassed to Ask, we talk about several things — like last week’s episode, which covered Snapchat and Pinterest.
Not so this week. Kara Swisher and Lauren Goode devoted the full episode to the ongoing feud between Apple and the FBI over security, privacy and encryption, which stems from the San Bernardino shootings last year that left 14 people dead and 22 injured. It’s a complex topic, and we received more questions from our listeners in advance of this episode than we have for any episode of Too Embarrassed to Ask before it.
Dawn Chmielewski, Re/code’s policy expert, joined Kara and Lauren via Skype this week. And also joining via Skype for the second half of the episode was Ted Boutrous, a lawyer for Apple who discussed how the tech giant is approaching the legal battle.
